International schools showed resilience, creativity and commitment in dealing with the coronavirus crisis, a new survey has found. According to the annual Council of British International Schools (COBIS) survey, its 92 member schools rose “admirably” to the challenges, providing high-quality teaching, learning and pastoral care. “There is no surprise in the way that educators and support staff in COBIS schools have responded to the associated challenges of the pandemic,” COBIS CEO Colin Bell told The PIE News. “At every step, school leaders and their teams are to be commended and recognised for their unfaltering commitment to helping students thrive in this period of significant global challenge.”To get more news about international schools, you can visit shine news official website.



Among measures taken to respond to the health crisis include home learning, virtual tuition and more refined protection for children. “With the introduction of home learning via virtual tuition, policies connected to child protection and safeguarding have had to be re-evaluated and made fit for purpose,” Bell added. “Safeguarding the health, safety and mental wellbeing of students and staff has also been a key focus, when considering adaptations to policies and procedures.”

Member schools— 250 in more than 75 countries globally — vary in size, enrolling from 27 to 3,000 students. The majority offer both primary and secondary education. As of October/November 2020, over 62% were either teaching solely remotely or with a mixture of face-to-face classes; the rest were fully open. Nearly nine out of 10 leavers (from 2019-20) progressed to university, with half going to a UK university. The rest headed to the US, the Netherlands and Canada.

Recruiting teachers and students, however, took a dip. Nearly half (46%) reported a decrease in pupil numbers; two-thirds of schools said this was wholly or partly due to the pandemic. Two out of five schools were delayed or found it hard to deal with visas or pre-employment checks for teachers. At one-third of member schools, international staff were delayed by border closures and other travel restrictions.

The survey collected school information on curriculum, assessments, school leaver destinations, student and staff nationalities, class sizes, and staff turnover from the 2018-19 academic year.

I deposited $900 on Firmarkets platform but couldnt withdraw my profits. The broker said that I needed to pay 15% of the profits to enable my withdrawal.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx.com official website.

  Firmarkets doesnt even provide registration numbers or any other regulatory authority. I want to warn others as well not to use this platform. Your money is going one direction only into their account and you will never see it again!  After initial investment of $200, I made profits of $4680. When I tried to withdraw the profits, I got an email from Firmarkets saying that I must pay operation currency conversion fee of about $730. I did pay that, hoping to get my profits. But after that they sent another email, saying that I must pay 15% brokerage fee. It was ridiculous because when I made an initial investment, this was not clarified to me at all.

The investment plan I use was bitcoin investment. The transactions were loaded using their bitcoin wallet receive address, so its difficult to get a refund in that case.

  Per investigation, Firmarkets is displayed as “no license” with a score of only 1.15 on WikiFX APP, which means the broker is quite risky. It is suggested to download WikiFX APP first, so as to recognize illegal brokers before trading.

The S&P 500 put in a fresh record-high close on Thursday after a stronger-than-expected manufacturing report from the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) injected bullish energy into equity markets. US manufacturers, according to the report, are being overrun with heavy demand, indicated by a sharp swing higher in new orders. The benchmark S&P 500 index closed just shy of 4,020 after rising 1.18% on the day.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx.com official website.

  Technology stocks also rose strongly into the extended US holiday weekend, with the Nasdaq 100 index recording a 1.82% rally. Elsewhere, the small-cap Russell 2000 index gained 1.50%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) climbed 0.52%. The US Dollar weakened against most major G10 peer currencies.

  Thursday marked the end of the trading week for the United States, with stock markets set to reopen on Monday following the Easter holiday. Bond markets, however, will see a shortened trading day on Friday. Speaking of bond markets, Treasuries saw buying across most tenures except the 2-year. The benchmark 10-year yield fell 4.15%.

  The US government bond market recorded its worst loss in years, particularly in long-dated Treasuries. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF – composed of bonds with a maturity over 20 years – saw a violent 14.83% decline in the first quarter. The roiled Treasury market will likely remain in focus going forward as investors remain doubtful that the Fed wont prematurely raise rates amid a stimulus-fueled domestic economy that continues to heat up.
The Asia-Pacific session is set to be a bit quieter than usual with closed markets in Australia and New Zealand for the Good Friday holiday. Australia’s ASX 200 gained 0.56% on Thursday to kick off the second quarter. Equity markets across the rest of the APAC region also gained. Market sentiment received a boost after US President Joe Biden outlined his infrastructure plan early Thursday when the US leader called for a $2.25 trillion investment in roads, bridges, airports, and green energy infrastructure.

  The Australian Dollar is moving higher on broader Greenback weakness. AUD/USD initially was moving lower on Thursday, threatening to break below a key support level from a Head and Shoulders pattern, but subsequently shifted higher later in the session. The move higher comes despite a worse-than-expected trade report out of Australia that showed weakness in exports.

  Friday‘s economic event calendar is void of high- and medium-impact events, according to the DailyFX Economic Calendar. Thailand will see business confidence and unemployment data cross the wires, while India will release its foreign exchange reserves for the week ending March 26. While US markets are closed tomorrow, traders will have a close eye on the highly-anticipated non-farm payrolls report, with the consensus estimate slated to print at 647k, which would nearly double the prior month’s figure.

S&P 500 TECHNICAL OUTLOOK
  The S&P 500s break above the 4,000 level saw prices rise above the upper trendline of a Rising Wedge pattern. While technically a bearish pattern, the break above resistance highlights the underlying strength in US markets. And now, with a full retracement of the last leg lower, the 161.8% Fibonacci retracement shifts into view at the 4,064 level.

  Alternatively, a move back into the wedge could be viewed as a bearish development. However, given the broader trend higher, any pullback will likely be transitory. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is showing some bearish divergence, although the MACD oscillator is trending higher, pointing to healthy momentum.

NZD/USD leads major currency gainers, up 0.21% to 0.7033, during the early Fridays trading. Even if Good Friday restricts the market moves, with holidays in Australia and New Zealand, the extended US dollar weakness seems to play its role in favoring the kiwi buyers.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx.com official website.

  US dollar index (DXY) stays on the back foot below 93.00, near 92.90 by the press time, as the US 10-year Treasury yield remains pressured close to 1.67%. Its worth mentioning that the key bond coupon dropped the most in five weeks the previous day and favored USD bears.

  While searching for catalysts, global ire over the conviction of veteran Hong Kong Activists and the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine chatters from the US should have played their role.

  US Depart of Statement condemned the arrests of key democratic personalities in Hong Kong while the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pushed Biden Administration to gather international support to take punitive actions against China due to the said instance.

  Elsewhere, US health expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said that the US may not need the AstraZeneca vaccine even if it gets regulatory approval for usage. The news renewed vaccine jitters as the Anglo-Swedish vaccine is among the top covid cure.

  Its worth mentioning that the S&P 500 Futures print mild gains, following the Wall Street benchmarks, whereas stocks in China and Japan portray aftershocks of the US infrastructure spending announcement.

  Although off in Australia and New Zealand challenges NZD/USD traders the most, Chinas active day, amid tension surrounding Hong Kong, can entertain the pair traders. However, nothing line the US employment data, up for publishing at 12:30 GMT.

  Technical analysis

  A daily close beyond 0.7030, comprising late December lows, becomes necessary for NZD/USD bulls to attack early March bottom surrounding the 0.7100 threshold.
